OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by joyfuljoy on November 11, 2010 at 11:37pm: Hi, everyone, thank you again for your responses. I have a confession my husband told me I was in the wrong group posting. I am bit embarresed. I guess I thought I knew what I was doing. anyways im here in Chicago staying at the Springhill Suites. Im not sure if their are others I guess I will see in the morning. I am so proud of my Sailor. I prayed for all of those boys and Praise God they did it. I am really looking forward to meeting the moms of Div 370. and the other divs as well.

Comment by LynnO on November 11, 2010 at 11:35pm: I'm at the Navy Lodge. Sorry I missed the meet & greet. I had a meeting in Chicago that ran way too late. I'm up awaiting a later comer. Any one here having trouble sleeping that would like to meet, I wouldn't mind some company in the lobby while I wait. Otherwise, sleep well and we'll meet tomorrow.
